Blazers to meet with Kaman

Blech.

 

Prefer selling house for Chandler.

Or Asik.

Or Splitter.

Pretty MEH, but would allow us to have some cap space elewhere.

 

I'm sold that my man Olshey is content that Leonard with a little grooming is the man that we need as a Center. I tend to agree with him.

 

I'll accept Kaman only on a 1yr deal for cheap

 

I was just going to say this.

This is a big sack of meh.

 

I admit I don't want to trade Leonard.

 

I do too, but we are certainly in the minority around here.

 

Well, he's a serviceable vet. I wouldn't pay him 8 million dollars he got last year though. It would be nice to split time with Leonard.

 

I think this signing screams confidence in Leonard. It's a great signing if you think Leonard will mature in the next couple of years to be our starting center.

Kaman is not a bad player and I think he will help us.

I think you could get Kaman for 5-6 million a year, so we would still have some space left. Possibly to acquire some assets from teams looking to unload guys.

 

I wouldn't give Kaman more than $4M

Fuck this. Neil's letting me down here.

 

Why do I have the feeling that Olshey values Clippers or ex-Clippers waaaaay more than the rest of us?

 

It will certainly be better than having Hickson play center.

 

Kaman isn't even bad. Could be a better rebounder and could be more efficient....but he's more of a rim protector than Hickson.

 

He's a big. Dead bigs make 4.5

 

My only hope is that we have people meeting or talking with agents of a number of different players at 9:00. Seems unlikely though....

 

He could probably be had for cheap. That's probably one of the biggest reasons.

 

seemed we heard talk of a big who was a rim protector,a nd someone who didn't really need touches. That seems about the opposite of Kaman. Meh.

 

Yep. Then use the remaining FA money on another veteran at a swing position.

 

If that's the only way we're rating our FA period, we're guaranteed success! Paul Allen could blindfold Olshey, stick him in front of the list of F.A. centers, and have him pick one. They'd be better than Hickson at center.

Jokes aside, I don't hate Kaman....but he's older, injury prone, and no way does he "move the needle", especially in the long term.

 

Him and Aldridge don't fit together at all

I hope this is false
